Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What does George's dad say to the young boy about money?

Answer: "Money isn't real, George. It doesn't matter."

George's dad works very hard to make money for his family, but eventually they go bankrupt. His mother is not happy with this situation and often leaves them, only to return back to them. His dad doesn't care about money, however, but only about the happiness of his family.

When they go bankrupt, he says to George "Money isn't real, George. It doesn't matter. It only seems like it does.". He is played by Ray Liotta.
2. George moves to California, and is fascinated by the people he meets there. Which of the following is NOT one of the phrases he uses to describe them?

Answer: Indifferent

George and his childhood friend Tuna move to California, and they notice right away that things and people there are very different to what they're used to. In his narration, George describes the people in California as "liberated, independent, full of new ideas".

He says they "used words like 'right on', 'groovy' and 'solid'". George also mentions that the women in California are beautiful and they all seem to be stewardesses.
3. Which old acquaintance do George and Tuna run into in California?

Answer: Kevin Dulli

Kevin Dulli (usually referred to only by his surname) is in California on vacation when George and Tuna run into him. Kevin suggests to them to expand their operations in the East Coast, and they come up with a plan. Kevin becomes part of George's immediate circle, which includes Barbara, Tuna, Tuna's girlfriend Maria and Derek.

After the friends go their separate ways, George and Kevin lose touch and do not meet again for nearly two decades. Kevin is played by Max Perlich.
4. After Barbara's early death, George goes on the run. Eventually he visits his parents and ends up getting arrested. How does he get arrested?

Answer: His mother calls the police.

George skips bail to take care of Barbara who has cancer. After her death, their little gang breaks up and George ends up on the run. Not having seen his parents for over a year, he visits them at their house. After a brief conversation with his mother, George is talking to his father when they notice the police have arrived.

As they take George away, his mother admits calling them because she didn't want to be an accomplice.
5. George's cellmate asks him why he is imprisoned. What reason does George give (falsely) for his incarceration?

Answer: Murder

George is arrested for possession and goes to prison soon after that. His cellmate, Diego, asks George why he is in prison. George lies and says he is in for murder. Later, when Diego is happy because there are only nine months until he is free again, George says that he has 26 months left himself. Diego doubts someone could do so little time for such a heavy crime and figures out that George was lying.
6. George and Diego go into business with Pablo Escobar.

Answer: True

Escobar, the Colombian drug lord, is looking for an American to cooperate with. After hearing about George, Escobar meets with George and Diego and they reach an agreement. Escobar is played by Cliff Curtis.
7. Where does George meet his wife Mirtha?

Answer: At Diego's wedding

George is congratulating Diego for getting married when he notices a woman looking at him. He walks over and starts talking to her. It turns out she is engaged to one of George's associates, a fact that is completely indifferent to George. He and Mirtha get together and end up married after a while. Mirtha is played by Penelope Cruz.
8. Who is George's connection in California, whose name George is reluctant to reveal?

Answer: Derek Foreal

George uses Derek as a distributor in the West Coast, but refuses to reveal his name to his Colombian associates. Diego gets increasingly unhappy with this and starts complaining. After George finally reveals Derek's identity, Diego goes behind George's back and steals his connection, essentially forcing him out of business.
9. After being forced out of business, George becomes a father. His life is not perfect though. What happens to him during his daughter's birth?

Answer: He collapses because of an overdose.

After going out of business, George estimates he has about sixty million dollars, and he and his family can live a great life. He keeps using cocaine, however, and eventually collapses during his daughter's birth. After he recovers, George stays clean and tries to be a good father to his daughter Kristina.
10. After George gets out of jail for the second time, he sets up another drug transport operation with some of his old friends. They betray him, however, and kill him.

Answer: False

George wants to re-establish a relationship with his estranged daughter, but he has no money. He contacts Derek and they set up an operation with their old friend Kevin Dulli and two other men. It turns out that the FBI and the DEA are setting him up though, and he gets sentenced to sixty years in prison.
